Speed adjusting dial
Fig.6
► 1 . Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the speed
adjusting dial. You can get the highest speed at 6 and
the lowest speed at 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the jig saw blade will be
reduced.
